Doctor of Philosophy - PhD
Summary
Our PhD/MPhil Developmental Biology programme enables you to undertake a research project that will improve understanding of Developmental Biology.
Developmental Biology is the study of the processes by which complex organisms develop from fertilised eggs.
Research in Manchester investigates the fundamental events underlying normal development and how these are subverted in disease.
Specific interests include:
- Pluripotency, cell fate specification and differentiation;
- Patterning and organogenesis;
- Cell signalling;
- Epithelial development and morphogenesis;
- Cell adhesion in development;
- The developmental role of genes involved in human diseases including epidermal, heart and craniofacial defects.
The Healing Foundation Centre investigates the cellular and molecular basis of tissue repair and regeneration.
Our research utilises a variety of model organisms including Caenorhabditis elegans, Dictyostelium, Drosophila, chick, mouse, Xenopus and zebrafish, and a diversity of state-of the-art techniques including various types of genetic analysis, transgenesis, gene targeting, expression profiling, functional genomics, proteomics, imaging, electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography.

MSc
Summary
Our research-focused MSc Developmental Biology course will give you extensive hands-on experience of conducting research on timely topics of developmental biology.
Rather than attending traditional lectures on your chosen subject, you will learn through an interactive approach involving seminars, workshops and small group tutorials preparing you for relevant aspects of a science-based career. As this is a research-focused master's course, you will also undertake your own research project in the laboratory of a leading researchers.
You will choose the laboratory placement from a list provided by your programme director. Projects on this list come from any of our areas of research relating to developmental biology. As we have over 200 research-active labs, we can offer a wide range of projects to choose from. For an idea of the breadth of available projects, browse our research pages.
You will learn through an interactive approach involving seminars, workshops and small group tutorials rather than traditional lectures.
You will also undertake your own research project in the labs of leading researchers working on a range of model organisms and diverse areas of developmental biology.
You will gain research experience and professional skills, perhaps in a different area to your first degree, before deciding on a future career in industry or academic research. This will allow you to make an informed choice about the research area you want to go into.
